Kyle Hendricks - Starting Tuesday Hendricks will start Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Hendricks looked to be destined to head to the bullpen due to the return of Jordan Wicks. However, Justin Steele was scratched due to elbow soreness, pushing Hendricks into spot start duty Tuesday. He served up six earned runs across only 1.2 innings in a start Wednesday against Pittsburgh, though he had been more effective in immediately preceding outings.

Colten Brewer - Starts up rehab assignment Brewer (hand) began a rehab assignment Saturday at Triple-A Iowa and struck out one batter over a perfect inning.
Impact After tossing 17 pitches in a game at the Cubs' complex in Arizona on Tuesday, Brewer got his rehab assignment formally underway over the weekend. The 31-year-old has been on the injured list since July 7 with a fractured left hand, so he'll likely need at least a couple more outings in the minors to iron out some kinks before the Cubs activate him.

Pete Crow-Armstrong - Records three more hits Sunday Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Sunday's 14-1 win over the Nationals.
Impact Crow-Armstrong had a four-hit effort back on Wednesday and added another effective performance to his sheet Sunday. He now has five multi-hit games over his last 10 contests, during which he's batting .410. Crow-Armstrong is known for his excellent speed with 26 stolen bases this year in 27 attempts, and if he can stay hot at the plate, he should be able to run wild during the last full month of the regular season.
SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Nico Hoerner - Productive in easy win Hoerner went 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 14-1 win over the Nationals.
Impact Hoerner is now riding an eight-game hitting streak, with multi-hit performances in his last two contests. The shortstop has three extra-base knocks during the stretch, all of them doubles, but he continues to derive much of his fantasy value from his ability on the bases. Hoerner has four stolen bases over the last eight games and 27 for the season. If he keeps getting on at a high rate, he should be able to keep racking up steals.
SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Isaac Paredes - Drives in three Sunday Paredes went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and three RBI in Sunday's 14-1 win over the Nationals.
Impact Paredes collected two of the team's 18 hits in the easy victory. The infielder has been struggling overall with his new team, batting just .184 with a .608 OPS across 29 games in Chicago, though he is riding a four-game hitting streak during which he's gone 5-for-12. Paredes will continue to see regular playing time as he looks to build up further momentum with the Cubs.

Swanson leads Cubs against the Pirates following 4-hit game

Jordan Wicks - Picks up win in return Wicks (2-2) pitched five innings of one-run ball to pick up the win Sunday against Washington, allowing four hits and zero walks while striking out zero.
Impact Making his first start since June 14, Wicks breezed through the Washington lineup, using just 69 pitches to get through five frames. Things got dicey for Wicks in the second inning after he allowed the bases to be loaded with zero out, but he induced a double play and a fly-out to limit the damage to one run. The 25-year-old landed on the 60-day IL back in June with an oblique strain, pitching to a 4.18 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB in 28 innings (six starts) before the injury. After throwing a modest 69 pitches on Sunday, expect Wicks workload to ramp up moving forward, starting with next weekend's scheduled start against the Yankees.

Seiya Suzuki - Smacks two doubles Suzuki went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two walks, and two runs scored in Sunday's win against Washington.
Impact Suzuki belted two doubles to give him yet another multi-hit game, his seventh over his past 11 contests. During that span, Suzuki is slashing a scorching .396/.472/.708 with eight extra-base hits, eight RBI, 12 runs scored and two stolen bases in 55 plate appearances.
SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE
Dansby Swanson - Matches career-best with four hits Swanson went 4-for-6 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win against Washington.
Impact Swanson matched his career-best with four hits Sunday and has now recorded an RBI in six-consecutive games. After a lackluster start to the season, the 30-year-old has quietly provided excellent fantasy value since August 1, batting .287 with 10 extra-base hits, 21 runs scored, 22 RBI and eight stolen bases in 106 plate appearances.
